Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of printing equipment, and more specifically, to an integrated printing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern printing industry, as market demands for printing efficiency, cost control, and space utilization continue to rise, the limitations of traditional printing equipment are becoming increasingly apparent. Currently, most printing equipment on the market adopts a split structure, separating the feeding and printing processes. This design not only increases the complexity of the equipment layout but also reduces overall production efficiency.

[0003] Separate printing equipment typically requires separate feeding and printing units, connected manually or via additional transport mechanisms. This cumbersome material handling process is prone to problems such as feeding difficulties and positioning errors, impacting print quality and efficiency. Furthermore, double-sided printing often necessitates two separate printing units to handle both sides of the paper. This significantly increases the floor space required, raising factory space costs, and also leads to substantial increases in equipment procurement, installation, and maintenance costs. Moreover, the flow of materials between multiple units prolongs the printing process, increases manual operation, and raises the probability of errors, making it difficult to meet the modern printing industry's demands for efficient and precise production.

[0004] In the context of fierce market competition, printing companies urgently need to reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and increase space utilization. Therefore, developing an integrated printing unit that combines feeding and printing functions and has double-sided printing capabilities is imperative. This will not only simplify the printing process and reduce equipment footprint, but also lower operating costs, enhance production efficiency and market competitiveness, and drive the printing industry towards intensification and higher efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide an integrated printing apparatus, which solves the technical problem that most printing equipment on the market in the prior art adopts a split structure, separating the feeding and printing processes. This design not only increases the complexity of the equipment layout, but also reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides an integrated printing apparatus, comprising:

[0007] A housing and a printing device, wherein the printing device is disposed on the top of the housing;

[0008] A feeding assembly, wherein the feeding assembly is disposed inside the housing;

[0009] A horizontal support and a correction assembly, wherein the horizontal support is disposed inside the housing and the correction assembly is disposed within the housing;

[0010] A pair of printer heads and a discharge assembly, wherein the printer heads are both disposed inside the housing and the discharge assembly is disposed inside the housing;

[0011] The feeding assembly includes a side groove, which is formed on the inner surface of the housing. A fixed bushing is rotatably connected in the side groove, and a damping wheel is provided in the side groove, which is attached to the outer surface of the fixed bushing.

[0012] As a further technical solution, a side groove is provided on one side of the outer shell, a support sleeve is fixed in the side groove, a clamping frame is rotatably connected in the side groove through a rotating shaft, and a protrusion is provided in the side groove, the protrusion being embedded in the side end face of the support sleeve.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the correction component includes an inner cavity, which is opened inside the horizontal seat. A drive motor is provided at the bottom of the horizontal seat, and a correction seat is rotatably connected inside the horizontal seat via a rotating shaft. Several infrared phototubes are provided inside the inner cavity, and the position on the surface of the correction seat corresponding to the position of the infrared phototube is a through structure.

[0014] As a further technical solution, transmission gears are provided on the rotating shaft at the bottom of the correction seat and at the output end of the drive motor. A pair of correction rollers are rotatably connected to the correction seat. A pair of pipes are provided inside the outer shell, and air holes are opened on the surface of the pipes. A pair of adhesive plates are inserted and connected inside the outer shell.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the discharge assembly includes several guide rollers, all of which are rotatably connected inside the housing. The guide rollers are distributed around the printer head. Inside the housing, a pair of conveyor rollers are rotatably connected, one of which is controlled to rotate by a motor. Each conveyor roller has a second gear at one end.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the pair of pipes are distributed vertically, and each pair of pipes has a certain inclination angle.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the outer shell has a single-sided opening structure, and an output port is laterally opened on the closed side surface of the outer shell.

[0018] As a further technical solution, one side of the side groove has an open structure, and the position of the side groove opening corresponds to the position of the fixed bushing.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0020] 1. In this disclosure, the feeding assembly achieves stable feeding of printing material through the cooperation of the damping wheel and the clamping frame. The fixed bushing in the side groove facilitates the installation of the roller. The damping force generated by the damping wheel ensures that the material is unwound at a uniform speed. The clamping frame in the side groove can press down and hold the material tightly. The interlocking structure of the protrusion and the support sleeve ensures that the position of the clamping frame is fixed, avoiding wrinkles and displacement caused by material slack. This provides stable feeding conditions for subsequent printing processes, simplifies the roller installation process, and improves the reliability of feeding.

[0021] 2. In this disclosure, the correction component uses an infrared phototube and a drive motor to achieve precise correction of the printing material. The infrared phototube monitors the edge position of the material in real time. When a deviation is detected, the drive motor drives the correction roller to adjust the angle through the transmission gear, and pushes and guides the material laterally to return it to the correct path. The air holes on the surface of the pipe blow out airflow to remove dust, and the adhesive plate adheres the dust to prevent the material from sliding during correction, thus ensuring the accuracy of the graphic position during double-sided printing.

[0022] 3. In this disclosure, the material feeding assembly achieves continuous double-sided printing through the synergistic action of the guide rollers and the conveying rollers. The guide rollers are distributed around the print head to guide the material to move along a predetermined path. The conveying rollers are driven by a motor and rotate synchronously through a second gear, driving the material to shuttle between the two print heads to complete the printing on both sides. The layout and angle of the guide rollers ensure that the material remains flat when turning, avoiding creases and distortions, thus achieving efficient and orderly double-sided printing and greatly improving printing efficiency and finished product quality.

[0032] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0033] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0034] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an integrated printing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated, comprising:

[0039] The housing 1 and the printing device 2, wherein the printing device 2 is disposed on the top of the housing 1;

[0040] Feeding assembly 5, which is disposed inside the housing 1;

[0041] The cross seat 3 and the correction component 6 are provided, wherein the cross seat 3 is disposed inside the outer shell 1 and the correction component 6 is disposed in the outer shell 1;

[0042] A pair of printer heads 4 and a material dispensing assembly 7, wherein the printer heads 4 are both disposed inside the housing 1 and the material dispensing assembly 7 is disposed inside the housing 1;

[0043] The feeding assembly 5 includes a side groove 5-1, which is formed on the inner surface of the outer shell 1. A fixed bushing 5-2 is rotatably connected inside the side groove 5-1. A damping wheel 5-3 is provided inside the side groove 5-1 and fits against the outer surface of the fixed bushing 5-2. A side groove 5-4 is formed on one side inside the outer shell 1. A support sleeve 5-5 is fixed inside the side groove 5-4. A clamping frame 5-6 is rotatably connected inside the side groove 5-4 through a rotating shaft. A protrusion 5-7 is provided inside the side groove 5-4 and is embedded in the side end face of the support sleeve 5-5.

[0044] In some examples, a feeding assembly 5 is designed to enable the installation of printing material rollers and feeding under tension. This assembly uses the side groove 5-1 inside the housing 1 as its mounting base. A fixed bushing 5-2, rotatably connected within the side groove 5-1, can be inserted to hold the roller. The printing material on the roller is stably unwound under the pressure of the damping wheel 5-3. The clamping frame 5-6 within the side groove 5-4 rotates via a rotating shaft, pressing down to clamp the printing material. Combined with the interlocking structure of the protrusion 5-7 and the support sleeve 5-5, the clamping frame 5-6 is fixed in position, preventing material loosening. The damping wheel 5-3 and the clamping frame 5-6 work together to ensure the printing material enters the device smoothly while maintaining tension, avoiding problems such as wrinkles and misalignment caused by material loosening. This design not only simplifies the roller installation process but also provides stable feeding conditions for subsequent printing processes through mechanical damping and clamping structures, improving the reliability and stability of the feeding process.

[0045] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, the correction component 6 in this embodiment includes an inner cavity 6-1, which is opened inside the horizontal seat 3. A drive motor 6-2 is provided at the bottom of the horizontal seat 3. A correction seat 6-3 is rotatably connected to the horizontal seat 3 via a rotating shaft. A plurality of infrared phototubes 6-4 are provided inside the inner cavity 6-1. The position on the surface of the correction seat 6-3 corresponding to the position of the infrared phototubes 6-4 is a through structure. A transmission gear 6-5 is provided on the rotating shaft at the bottom of the correction seat 6-3 and at the output end of the drive motor 6-2. A pair of correction rollers 6-6 are rotatably connected to the correction seat 6-3. A pair of pipes 6-7 are provided inside the outer shell 1. Air holes 6-8 are opened on the surface of the pipes 6-7. A pair of adhesive plates 6-9 are inserted and connected inside the outer shell 1.

[0046] In some examples, a correction component 6 is designed to achieve precise correction of the printed material. This component uses a drive motor 6-2 within the horizontal seat 3 as its power source, which drives the correction seat 6-3 to rotate via a transmission gear 6-5. A pair of correction rollers 6-6 on the correction seat 6-3 adjust their angles accordingly. An infrared phototube 6-4 inside the inner cavity 6-1 monitors the position of the printed material's two edges in real time at the top opening. When material deviation is detected, the sensor feeds a signal back to the control system, and the drive motor 6-2 quickly adjusts the angle of the correction rollers 6-6, laterally pushing or guiding the material back to the correct path. Air holes 6-8 on the surface of the internal pipe 6-7 of the outer shell 1 allow airflow for dust removal, and an adhesive plate 6-9 traps dust to prevent contamination of subsequent materials and to prevent slippage during correction. Through the combination of sensor monitoring and motor drive, the correction component 6 can quickly and accurately correct printed material deviation, ensuring the accuracy of the image and text position during double-sided printing.

[0047] like Figures 1-7As shown in the figure, the material output component 7 in this embodiment includes several guide rollers 7-1, all of which are rotatably connected inside the housing 1. The guide rollers 7-1 are distributed around the printer head 4. A pair of conveying rollers 7-2 are rotatably connected inside the housing 1. One of the conveying rollers 7-2 is controlled to rotate by a motor. A second gear 7-3 is provided at one end of each conveying roller 7-2.

[0048] In some examples, a material feeding assembly 7 is designed to change the direction of the printing material to facilitate double-sided printing with the print head 4. This assembly guides the printing material along a predetermined path via guide rollers 7-1 distributed around the print head 4. A rotatably connected conveyor roller 7-2 is driven by a motor and synchronized via a second gear 7-3, moving the material between the print heads 4. When double-sided printing is required, the material changes direction via the guide rollers 7-1, passing through two print heads 4 sequentially to complete printing on both sides. The layout and angle of the guide rollers 7-1 are optimized to ensure the material remains flat during the turning process, avoiding creases or twisting caused by path changes. The stable transmission of the conveyor rollers 7-2 and the precise guidance of the guide rollers 7-1 work together to enable the printing material to circulate efficiently and orderly within the device, achieving continuous double-sided printing operations and significantly improving printing efficiency and product quality.

[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a pair of pipes 6-7 are distributed vertically, and both of the pipes 6-7 have a certain angle of inclination.

[0050] In some examples, by distributing the material vertically and using a tilt angle, it is possible to blow the material onto both surfaces of the printed material simultaneously and expel it to the outside.

[0051] For example, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the outer shell 1 has a single-sided opening structure, and an output port 8 is laterally opened on the closed side surface of the outer shell 1.

[0052] In some examples, a single-sided opening structure reduces dust contamination inside the housing 1, and a rear horizontal output port 8 is opened on one side for easy material discharge.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, one side of the side groove 5-4 has an open structure, and the opening position of the side groove 5-4 corresponds to the position of the fixed bushing 5-2.

[0054] In some examples, a single-sided opening structure is used to prevent the printing material roller from being too long, allowing enough space to move and ensuring proper insertion.

[0055] In actual use: After fixing the outer casing 1, install the printing device 2 on its top. The feeding assembly 5 is installed inside the outer casing 1. The fixed bushing 5-2 is rotatably connected to the side groove 5-1 and the printing material roller is placed there. The damping wheel 5-3 is attached to the outer surface of the fixed bushing 5-2. The clamping frame 5-6 is rotatably connected to the side groove 5-4 through a rotating shaft. The protrusion 5-7 is embedded in the side end face of the support sleeve 5-5. The correction assembly 6 is installed in the horizontal seat 3. An infrared phototube 6-4 is set inside the inner cavity 6-1. The drive motor 6-2 is connected to the correction seat 6-3 through the transmission gear 6-5. The correction roller 6-6 is installed on the correction seat 6-3. The upper and lower... The casing 1 contains a pair of printer heads 4 and a material output assembly 7, which are distributed and inclined. Inside the casing 1, there are pipes 6-7 and adhesive plates 6-9. Guide rollers 7-1 are distributed around the printer heads 4. The conveying rollers 7-2 are driven by a motor and a second gear 7-3. The casing 1 has an output port 8 on its closed side. When in use, the printing material is unwound from the fixed bushing 5-2, tensioned by the damping wheel 5-3 and the clamping frame 5-6, and the infrared phototube 6-4 monitors the material deviation. The drive motor 6-2 drives the correction roller 6-6 to correct the deviation. The material is guided by the guide rollers 7-1 and passes through the two printer heads 4 to complete double-sided printing. Finally, it is sent out from the output port 8 by the conveying rollers 7-2.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
